Como Affairs.

w. II. Ely returned from Denver COL,
on Tuesday where he had been on busieess
connected with the Buckeye mine, Como.
He was entirely successful, having brought
back money, with which most of the indebt
edness of the Company has been hquidated,
and will be ready to start the mine IN few
days on firm financial basis.
1t is expected by Mr.. Ely that he will,
with very few slight additional outldys. be
able to extract sufficient ore from the Buck
eye to more than pay expenses, while max
ing further explorations. Hence when wafer
sufficient for milling purposes, is again
afforded by the Carson river, we may reason
ably expect to be able TO report The Buckeye
among the bullion producers of Lyon
county. Any creditor of the Buckeye need
not be in the least alarmed, as Mr. Ely as.
>ures US that he will be able to pay all in
debtedness, dollar for dollar.
He also came prepared to take an option
on the como Eureka for 90 days, by which
means that Company might have extricatcd
ilself from its present difficulties, b ut his
terms have been refused.

The "Times" Fire,

The TIMES Office had very close call la t
Tuesday evening, from fire. The editor was
engaged in writing, and having occasion to
consult a book of reference he reached
across the table for it, when his elbow tipped
yer a lamp standing on the table. The
lamp broke and in an instant the table, pa
pers, books and the wall were a mass OF
flames. Mr.. Fairbanks grabbed all the bum
ng material on the table and threw it in the
erect, and then ran into his residence ad
joining where he procured two blank cts and
returning to the fire proceeded to beat and
mother the flames with them. In his efforts
ne was ably assisted by Mr.. Waller Kelly
ADD Jimmy Newman, and between them all
ne fire was soon squelched. An alarm was
-ounded and the fire boys soon had the en-
sine out but before it was attached TO tn
cistern all danger was over. This is the
hird time the ZINES Office has escaped be
ny burnt up. Mr.. Fairbanks had both hi>
lands severely burnt and will be incapacl
lated from using them for several weeks. Mr.
Fairbanks returns his sincere thanks to all
who SO kindly came to his assistance.

The following items of interest are taken
from the Walker Lake Bulletin of last Wed
nesday:
The Mount Diablo shipped four bars yes
terday, valued at $4,000.
Last Sunday shipment Of bullion worth
$4,000 came through from the Wsywera

The Wells shaft in the Mount Cory is now
down about 100 feet. There is another 100
feet 10 sink.
John Hammond and Tom Daley have
sacked about twenty tons of loose dirt on
the Cold Turkey, which will yield about
forty dollars per ton.
The Kinkead MILL yesterday began crush
ing rock from the Hartford claim, owned by
Prior and Curtis, as soon as it is finished
lot of Mingo ore will be put through.
The old Promontory mine, at Darwin in
years gone by, yielded some high grade ore
carrying horn silver. Recently, a vein OF
the same kind of material has been struck
and Rich ards and Calinan are now making
a shipment.
Tom Purcell is working the Eagle claim
in Black Mountain district. He now has
out large lot Of ore which ii is though
will work To fifty dollars a ton. Some of
course is much higher than this but MIR
Purcell puts his figure at fifty in order to be
within the mark. He is having samples
tested at the different gold mills 10 learn
where he can have 1t worked to the best ad
vantage and will make a shipment pretty
soon. The claim is about seven miles from
Marietta so that including hauling and all
expense the ore will return a good profit.

which he called the Buckeye. The ledge is
gold bearing and Frank has done considera
bic work towards developing it. He has
uncovered the ledge for a great distance,
